Outreach

To get a better grasp of children’s health, College of Education & Human Development doctoral student Elgin Andrews is working with After-School All-Stars Atlanta — a program run by the Department of Kinesiology and Health that provides comprehensive after-school programs for at-risk students in the metro Atlanta area — to study how curriculum and policy can be geared toward urban youth to increase their overall health.

The Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence’s annual DREAMS (Developing Relationships to Enhance All Mentee’s School Success) Summer Institute, a free program for metro-Atlanta rising 10th, 11th and 12th grade students, will be held June 9-July 25, 2014, in the College of Education & Human Development (30 Pryor St., Atlanta).

Over the course of seven weeks, the institute will focus on developing relationships and promoting social competency. Students will also participate in sessions on:

Strengthening math fundamentals

Cultural awareness

Robotics and engineering

Creative thinking and writing

Forming a cultural and social identity

Deadline for applications is June 2, 2014. To request an application, please e-mail Raina Turner at rturner11@gsu.edu and provide your child’s name, grade, school and your preferred contact information.
